Stop time delays before they start with realistic roadmaps and aligned teams
Design for scale by avoiding DFM traps that derail production and eat your margins
Hey! I'm Patrick and I help early-stage med device startups and solo inventors navigate the complex journey from a napkin sketch to manufacturable product.Having worked with industry leaders like Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson and with over 18 years in medical device design, manufacturing, and supply chain management, I understand what it takes to bring a device to market efficiently while avoiding costly missteps.
Some of my favorite projects
Helped a biotech team save $500K+ by identifying critical supplier issues and guiding a smooth switch to a stronger partner
Redesigned a technician tool for scalable manufacturing, saving $100K+ in tooling and design revisions
Turned an anesthesiologist’s rough idea into a production-ready device, avoiding $125K+ in wasted dev costs
Built over 15 investor-ready prototypes that helped clients validate demand and secure interest for Gen 2 launches
